My baby is one month and eight days old and is currently breastfeeding, but frequently spitting up. How should I handle this?

Patient's question:

My baby is one month and eight days old. Now, when she eats breast milk, she often spits up, and it's not this easy to spit up when she drinks formula. Why is that? Is there a problem with my breastfeeding? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is generally related to the amount of diaper changing and the correct way to change diapers afterward. Typically, newborns, due to the special anatomical structure of their stomach, should be burped five times for about ten minutes after each feeding, and the amount of milk should not be too much. The above is the suggestion for the question "How to handle my baby who is 8 days old and breastfed frequently spitting up?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
